hi everyone , just had surgery for 1st recurrence , ca125 came back higher than before surgery at 200 , so following up with carboplatin 6 cycles anyone else had this on its own for 1st recurrence , had it with taxol when originally diagnosed , hoping it works again , feeling very anxious more than when I was first told I had 3c ov Cancer april 2014 , why so hard this time ? Was I kidding myself I would be one of the ones who escaped .......maybe ,. I just would like a break from it all I guess

    Carbo

    I have had carbo/taxol before debulking surgery and for each recurrence.  Had cisplatin/taxol after surgery.  I think we all hope we will be a lucky one who doesn't recur.  My first remission was 18 months and of course I hoped.  Yeah I sometimes wish I could have one day where I forget all about cancer.
